23608 ÷ 40 
We want to divide 23608 by 40.

Going ahead to step 1:
2 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 2, then repeat: 23 / 40

On to step 2:
40 can be fit into 23 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 23.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 23 to get 23.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 236 / 40

Moving on to step 3:
236 divided by 40 is 5 with a remainder of 36.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 200 from 236 to get 36.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 36, then repeat: 360 / 40

Step 4:
When dividing 360 by 40, we get 9 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 59.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 360 from 360.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 0 and repeat the process: 8 / 40

Advancing to step 5:
8 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 590.0
Subtracting 0 from 8 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 6:
When dividing 80 by 40, we get 2 with a remainder of 0.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 590.2
Subtract 80 from 80 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
When dividing 0 by 40, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 590.2
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Step 8:
0 divided by 40 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 590.2
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 590.2 with a balance of 0.0.
